another problem! he is limping I am sick of chicken problems(PICTURE!)

[GoldenSparrow]

we seem to have yet another problem

seems as soon as the last on is taken care of a new one stars

my 4 year old rooster is limping. I have no clue as to why. I checked him out, there are no injuries or anthing I can see.
what could be wrong now?
he seems fine other then that, but he seems to have had it for a few weeks now.

he is also molting.

Thank you

Does he make sounds or pull away when you touch his foot? Could he have fallen and hurt his foot? Are his spurs so long that he cannot walk properly?

His spars are very long, this pic they are over 2 inches. I took this last year, and they HAVE grown a bit more.

You can try clipping them a little bit because hen he walks they might poke him in the foot and cause him to limp.
